I exited the service 22 years ago and just recently signed up for care.
I got out in 1973 and have used the VA off and on for years. Back in 2011 I started going there full time with no plans in changing.
The only bad experience I had was 9 months after I got out. And it was a bad one. I had my tonsils taken out and almost bled to death. But, I’m still here!
